What we are looking for:
- A good awareness and understanding of people administration, to ensure compliance with regulation and procedures
- Excellent written and communication skills
- Excellent interpersonal, including the ability to form rapport and build good working relationships with others
- Flexible approach and the ability to work on their own initiative
- A relevant HR qualification equivalent to Level 3 (Foundation Certificate in People Practice) would be advantageous, as would experience of working within a school environment, but neither are essential.
